Best Cajun Banana Smoothie Recipes

BANANA SMOOTHIE

Banana Smoothie image

A delicious low-fat smoothie, sweetened naturally with honey, with extra nutrition from wheat germ and sunflower seeds, and extra flavour from cinnamon. A great morning-pick-me-up! I often take some to work in a Tupperware container with a firm lid, and enjoy it as a mid-morning snack.

Time 5m

Yield 1 litre, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

2 cups skim milk or 2 cups low-fat milk
2 medium bananas, coarsely chopped
1/2 cup low-fat yogurt
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon wheat germ
1/4 cup sunflower seeds
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Steps:

Blend or process the ingredients until smooth.
Note: Use frozen bananas - or add ice cubes to the blender - for a thicker smoothie. I'm reluctant to add ice cubes to my blender, and if the smoothie is not all being drunk at the time you make it, I'd advise against the ice blocks, because naturally they'll just make what's drunk later more watery! Add any other fruit, as takes your fancy!

BANANA SMOOTHIE

This banana smoothie has to be one of my favorite recipes because it can be made in a flash, yet it's full of flavor. I think the honey adds just the right amount of sweetness. Everyone will love it...not just banana lovers! -Ro Ann Cox, Lenoir, North Carolina
